Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

ZONING DISTRICTS 3.01.03
mercial resort zoning district from adjoining land uses, for providing a
transition between adjacent properties, and to screen the view of any parking or
storage area, refuse collection, utility enclosures, or service area visible from a
public street, alley, pedestrian area or adjoining property. Plants may be used in
concert with decorative fences and/or berms to achieve the desired screen or
buffering effect. Landscape material should be mature enough at the time of
planting to provide an effective buffer or screen, and should be planted in an
appropriate location to allow for desired growth within a reasonable period of
time. When used to screen an activity area such as a parking lot, landscaping
should not obstruct the visibility of motorists or pedestrians and shall not
interfere with public safety.
b. Responsive to Local Context and Character: Landscape designs in the com-
mercial resort zoning district should build on the specific properties unique
physical characteristics, conserving and complementing existing natural features,
when available. Naturalistic design elements such as irregular plant spacing,
undulating contours, and mixed proportions of plant species should be used to
ensure new landscaping blends and contribute to the quality of the surrounding
area. Selection and spacing of plant material should be reflective of the
neighborhood, district, or character of the area.
C. Use of Native and Drought Resistant Plants: Wherever feasible and
environmentally beneficial, landscape designs should feature native and/or
drought -tolerant plant species, especially in areas adjacent to existing native
vegetation, to take advantage of the unique natural character and diversity of
the region, and the adaptability of native plants to local environmental
conditions. Where feasible, the re-establishment of native habitats should be
incorporated into the landscape design. In the same manner, landscape designs
are encouraged to utilize drought tolerant plant materials to the maximum
extent feasible. The use of drought tolerant plants should enrich the existing
landscape character, conserve water and energy, and provide as pleasant and
varied a visual appearance as plants that require more water.
The Board of County Commissioners may condition the approval of any resort with
more stringent or restrictive landscape requirements in order to ensure compat-
ibility with surrounding land uses.
6. Sign Requirements: Site signage shall be consistent with the provisions of Section
9.01.01(E). A preliminary site signage plan shall be required as part of the site plan
review process of all resorts developed under of the CR zoning district.
Site signage for a resort shall be in keeping with the resort's character, architecture
and signature amenity or anchor attribute, both in scale and design. The scale and
design of the sign shall also be appropriate to the surrounding area in which the
resort is located. The Board of County Commissioners may condition the approval of
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 32 3:137 Adopted May 19, 2009

any resort with more stringent or restrictive signage requirements in order to ensure
compatibility with surrounding land uses and the speed limit of the road or roads
which the sign(s) faces.
